Seriously, the whole point, originally, was that depreciation doesn't matter. To simplify the original argument: Say you buy a film camera for $700 and pay ongoing film and development costs of $350 per year. You also have printing costs of $400 per year. I buy a digital camera for $700. I pay zero for film and processing, and I spend $400 on printing costs per year. My point is, after two years, my camera has paid for itself. Cost $700, saved $700. No depreciation after that! And after that, I start saving money. Your camera may still be worth $700, but you continue to pay the tariff of film and processing costs. Of course, the numbers are very variable, depending on individual circumstance. --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
